| For inside pix of Onkyo DV-SP1000 universal..... Aaron... I doubt most owners of the sp 1000 will require modding as its quite musical and balanced in stock form.Its actually almost shocking how good the sonics are from a 2k list universal.If somone wanted to mod one, it could and will be done t... | |
| For inside pix of Onkyo DV-SP1000 universal..... It weighs 34 lbs in the shipping carton and 27-28 for just the player on my scale.I have seen nothing whith this build quality for the asking price or a ways above it.Greg | |
| Does vinyl outsell the hi rez formats? No need to sell me on the hi rez virtues of vinyl as I figured that was a given in a vinyl forum.From what I gather, not many beleive that dvd-a is out selling anything, and whith the re-sale of vinyl included,I am sure the total is far greater th... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? Lanny,The sp 1000 has that "no buyers remorse" thing going for it from everyone I have seen that posts there opinion for both audio and video.I would go as far as to say that at this price, and probably a bit more, its as close to perfect as your ... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? 711, who is trashing modded gear, certainly not I,but this thread is about stock universal players.I just happen to have compared a couple of modded players to the Onkyo sp 1000.After owning three Denons...all whith problems, I would not even cons... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? Avguru... I do not consider Arcam to be Hi end but rather mid fi, and its no universal either in case you missed that part in thr title of the thread.My local Arcam dealer told me that there quality is not were it once was either...at least not on... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? Mark... no chroma bug as far as I can tell and no macro blocking, excessive video noise ect.Just the best video I have ever seen whithout all the Denon problems I had whith my 5900/3910.Greg | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Yes, I know the dps 10.5 is 2.5k...thus 500.00 more list, but a lot more than that in reality for a new one as compared to a new sp 1000.That one listing is for a used player and I am reffering to new players from factory authorized dealers.To me,... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? They are the same player other than external source upconversion of s video and composite video, bnc component out and the Integra has a 3 year warranty instead of 1year.It will likely cost a lot more than 500.00 for these added features though as... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Lanny,I would say about a 3-4 weeks to break in using all formats whith usually a cd/sa-cd running 24/7 when not actually listening to the player, or using it to watch a flick.The soundstage grows wider and deeper whith 150-200 hours and the overa... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? DL's comments on dvd-a playback are most likely more accurate than mine as I have only had Denon dvd-a up to this point which always sounded too bright and too digital to me.As far as sa-cd, I have had the Denons as well as a RAM modded 963sa and ... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Daltonlanny,You are welcome...I rarely like anyhing at this price point enough to reccomend it, but I feel exactly like you do about the sp 1000 and think it is about time it got some due recognition on an audio board.This is the first dvd based p... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Yep it weighed around 35 lbs in the box and even the remote is classy with its aluminum top and great functionality.I also like the stock Onkyo better than a pro modded Philips 963sa for both redbook and 2 channel sa-cd as the Onkyo has that toe t... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Daryl, the original poster in that thread is going to be purchasing a better display so that is why I reccomended the sp 1000 without hesitation.Because he is primarily interested in music for now, I thought I would add that tid bit about the 9500... | |
| Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer? Hey Daryl, why don't you just read the reveiw as the Onkyo won in every category over the 9500 and that is the bottom line.I have been here a bit longer than you slick.....so I don't get your here at Audiogon thing at all. |
